Psalms 46

1 To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.

For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

2 Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

3 Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)

4 There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.

The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her at the dawn of the morning.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

7 Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.

9 He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the fire.

Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted amongst the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
